The polarity dependence of these STM images clearly reveals that each 3-NW consists of a bundle of three chain structures with a charge modulation of alternating filled and empty states, indicating a pronounced ionicity of the chains [35].
The dual-polarity STM images evidently show that the 6-NWs are registry-aligned and that each 6-NW indeed comprises a bundle of double chain structures with different morphologies and different atomic structures.
In our experiments, relatively low shear rates and low temperatures were used, so that the entangled network chains cannot be broken up or disentangled, and the shish nuclei must be formed from oriented and stretched network chains instead of a bundle of pulled-out chains.
The proposed PayStar improves drastically the computational performance of the customer from the viewpoint of processing each smallest denomination, e.g., one cent, due to the nature of PayStar which divides one lengthy conventional payment chain into a bundle of short merged one-way chains.
At the third growth stage, parallel-aligned 9-NWs are composed of a bundle of double nonequivalent zigzag chains at two sides and one linear row in between.
Figure 5c,d clearly depicts that each 9-NW exhibits a bundle of two nonequivalent zigzag chains (indicated by two zigzag lines) with different widths/heights of 1.2 ± 0.2/0.28 ± 0.02 nm (left) and 2.2 ± 0.2/0.34 ± 0.02 nm (right) at both sides and one linear row (marked by two parallel dashed lines) with a width/height of 1.9 ± 0.2/0.28 ± 0.02 nm at the middle.
The microfibrils are oriented along the longitudinal axis of the fibrils and are considered to be a bundle of 36 parallel cellodextrin chains which are held together by intermolecular (interchain and intrachain) hydrogen bonds [ 4, 5].
Some of molecular chain stems in a lamella are speculated to pass through the adjacent lamellae to form a bundle of fully extended taut tie chains, which are considered to be observed as the infrared bands characteristic of ECC morphology.
These are jelly-like materials made up of a bundle of highly water-absorbent polymer chains.
Around Christmas, the wicked hairy devil – half goat, half demon – appears on the streets wielding a few chains and bells, a bundle of birch branches and carrying a wooden tub on his back.
